Day 2: By the end of my second evening without television, I began to hallucinate. I thought Alex Trebeck was quizzing me on my knowledge of great Swiss military tacticians, and I kept losing money when I forgot to phrase my response in the form of a question. My reprieve came when Worf burst in and introduced Alex to his bat’leth. What is “the sound you make when you’re impaled by a Klingon blade”, Alex? I think I got that one right.
I eased my symptoms by watching This Hour Has 22 Minutes on my computer. They showed two episodes in a row, so that particular hour actually had 44 minutes. It’s less economical, but I still have 16 extra minutes at the end of it.
In the end, I never did start reading that book that’s on my coffee table. I’ll make that tomorrow’s project.
